Editor's Note: FSU and Perry Moss was not a good fit. He was burned in effigy at least twice during the season and in the middle of the season rumors began that he was going to resign and take a job
with the Canadian Football League.
From the Florida Times Union, November 14, 1959, page 14
TALLAHASSEE, FL, November 13, 1959 - Florida State University's athletic committee met today and there was immediate speculation that the topic was a successor to head football coach Perry Moss.

Although Moss has not confirmed it, there is general acceptance of a report he has accepted an offer to coach the Montreal Alouettes professional football team.

Dr. Mode Stone, chairman of the athletic committee, was out of the city this afternoon and no other members of the committee could be contacted immediately in the confusion of FSU's homecoming.

A report spread on the campus that the name of Ray Graves, an assistant coach at Georgia Tech, was getting prime consideration as Moss's successor.

Moss himself was understood to be recommending either Dick Flowers, whom he hired away from Gainesville High School to help him, or Bob Harbison, the veteran FSU line coach, for the head coaching job.
Flowers is a former University of Alabama lineman.

From the Florida Times Union, November 19, 1959
TALLAHASSEE, FL, November 18, 1959 - Florida State today had a new athletic director and was searching diligently for a new head football coach.

As Perry Moss confirmed earlier reports that he was resigning to become general manager and coach of Canada's Montreal Alouettes, Florida State announced that Vaughn Mancha would be the new athletic
director.

Moss had served as both head coach and AD.

At a press conference in FSU President Dr. Robert Strozier's office, Mancha was introduced in a move that caught newsmen by surprise.

Once an All-American center at the University of Alabama, the Georgia born Mancha for five years was an FSU assistant coach. Since 1957 he has been an assistant coach at Columbia University.

Mancha, 38, will work with the Athletic Committee, Dr. Strozier said, toward naming a head football coach.

Dr. Strozier said FSU had made no overtures to any candidate for the coaching job. He acknowledged that there has been a flood of nominations.

There's a chance that Moss will go to Canada following the Florida game on Saturday and before the season finale with Tampa.

Moss also confirmed he has recommended two assistants, Dick Flowers and Bob Harbison, as candidates to succeed him.

"It's actually a staff recommendation," Moss said. "We had a meeting of all the coaches and they agreed that Dick and Bob were the logical ones.

"I think either one would make FSU a good head coach."

Harbison has been an FSU assistant for 13 years.

Flowers came here with Moss as his number one aide.

Mancha was scheduled to return to Columbia last night. The Lions play their last game on Saturday against Rutgers. Mancha will return to Tallahassee to assume his new duties early next week.

Mancha's salary will be $11,000 annually. Moss was named head football coach at $14,000 a year. His salary remained the same when he was later named athletic director.

Dr. Strozier said he felt it was better to have the two posts of athletic director and head football coach separate ones.

Mancha said he was "very happy" to have the opportunity to return to Tallahassee. Dr. Strozier said he was pleased with Mancha's acceptance and Moss said he has known Mancha for many years and wished
him the best of luck.

Moss disclosed the Canadian job was offered to him several weeks ago. He denied that he was approached about the job before he accepted the FSU post.

"When I came to Florida State," he said, "I had every intention of remaining. But I feel I owe it to my family and to my professional future to accept one of the outstanding opportunities in
professional or college football."

Moss refused to comment on a report that he will receive $40,000 a year as general manager-coach of the Alouettes.

Dr. Strozier said of FSU's present assistant coaches that "no one will be relieved of his duties."

There was one report that Harbison is considering an offer to become a Tom Nugent aide at the University of Maryland.

Moss refused comment on whether he would take any FSU assistants with him to Montreal.

Moss did say that Fred Pickard, FSU halfback star, would be offered an opportunity to play with Montreal.

From the Tallahassee Democrat, December 8, 1959, page 1
TALLAHASSEE, FL, December 7, 1959 - Florida State's new head football coach is Bill Peterson, 39-year-old Ohioan who has served as Louisiana State's offensive line coach the last five seasons.

Signing of Peterson to a 4-year contract at $14,000 annually was announced at 1 pm this afternoon.

His name had figured prominently in speculation since he came to Tallahassee to be interviewed by the athletic committee on Thursday.

Had Perry Moss not been chosen successor to Tom Nugent last February, Peterson likely would have been the man. He was next on the list for an interview.

Contacted in Baton Rouge, La, by The Democrat this afternoon, Peterson said: "I am very humble, and proud and happy to be associated with such a fine university. I will need the assistance and
cooperation of the student body, and all the FSU followers in Florida, to do a job.

"It's a priviledge to be working with President Strozier and Athletic Director Mancha, and to be a part of an outstanding faculty."

Peterson said he would try to fly to Tallahassee late today. He will be here for several days but will have to return to Baton Rouge by December 21, the day before LSU opens practice for its Sugar
Bowl engagement January 1 with Mississippi.

He will be associated with LSU through the bowl game but will be permitted to devote as much time as possible to preparation for his new duties at FSU.

Peterson was born in Toronto, Ohio, and attended school there. He attended college at Ohio Northern in Ada, where he played end on the football team.

His first coaching assignment was at Massillon, as that prep powerhouse's sophomore coach. He was later head coach at Forest, Wapakoneta and Mansfield. His Mansfield record was 29-9-2.

Paul Dietzel, another Ohio-reared coach, brought him to LSU in 1955.

A Methodist, Peterson and his wife have five sons: Ronnie 16, Tommy 11, Johnny 8, Billy 3, and David 6 months.

Presumably Peterson will bring the winged-T attack to FSU, the formation that has helped LSU to huge success the last two years. During his Mansfield coaching days. Peterson employed a combination of
the split-T and a pro-type offense.

Announcement of Peterson's appointment came 20 days after Moss disclosed he was leaving FSU to accept a job as head coach and general manager of the Montreal Alouettes in Canadian pro football.

"Coach Peterson has an outstanding background in football," Athletic Director Vaughn Mancha said. "We are confident he will give us the progressive football program we visualize at FSU."

Dr. Mode Stone, chairman of the athletic committee, said: "We feel we have selected a competent coach, a fine Christian gentleman, and a man that players, students, faculty, alumni and friends shall
appreciate."

Mancha and Stone said the athletic committee examined the qualifications of "a great number" of coaches. Several came to Tallahasssee for interviews at the invitation of the committee.

"After thorough examination of all available information," Mancha said, "we unanimously recommended to Dr. Robert Strozier the name of Bill Peterson."

FSU president Strozier said: "I am very much pleased with the selection of Mr. Peterson. I have met him and he is a splendid person. The athletic committee and Mancha have done an outstanding job."

Peterson has been credited with obtaining many of the players who have boosted LSU to the top ranks.

Mancha said: "He has outstanding technical knowledge of football and has gained a fine reputation as a recruiter of student athletes."

The staff Peterson will have with him at FSU is still up in the air. Best guess seems to be some members of the present staff will remain and that some will not."

Florida State’s 3-team football vehicle coughed and sputtered in the early going, then dug off like mad and ran over
University of Richmond, 28-0 her last night.

Ed Trancygier, the biggest – and maybe the toughest – quarterback the Seminoles have ever had, passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third.

Ed
Feely, the littlest – and maybe the flashiest – quarterback FSU has ever had got the other TD after cutting up like a bug on water with his running.

Scout Report

The 207-pound Trancygier
and 164-pound Feely undoubtedly caused the most scratching on the pads of University of Florida scouts. FSU faces Florida – a 30-7 winner over George Washington in Jacksonville last night – in
Gainesville next Saturday afternoon.

Crowd of 17,200

An opening-game crowd of 17,200, swelled by about 3,000 Boy Scouts, enthusiastically okayed Coach Bill Peterson in his debut here and
his broad gamble with three teams.

The Chiefs looked good. The War Party looked good. And the Renegades looked good.

FSU’s first TD came 15 seconds before the half on Trancygier’s 3-yard pass to
Fred Grimes in the end zone.

The second came early in the third quarter on Feely’s run from the three. No. 3 was wrought with five minutes to play by Trancygier on a 1-yard sneak. The last was on
Trancygier’s 36-yard throw to Tony Romeo.

Put Romeo high among the stickouts in this one. The senior end looked fully recovered from the knee injury that hampered him all last season.

Another
senior sparkler was Bud Whitehead, the halfback. He punted six times for a 36.0 average, with four of ‘em 40 yards of better. Two way-down punts that rolled into the end zone cut his average. He also
struck off 60 yards in nine runs, second only to Feely’s game-high of 69 for 10 carries.

Richmond, which had its 25-game scoring streak busted, made too many mistakes to win. The Spiders drew 82
yards in penalties, had three passes intercepted. They managed only 68 yards rushing.

FSU made surprisingly few miscues, though 60 yards in penalties were walked off. Only fumble was by center Don
Sellers after they completed a pass interception. The Tribe had eight of 19 after missing on the first ten.

The Tribe pounded out 218 yards on the ground, got another 108 throwing.

Flashy
Effort

The Seminoles flaunted their daring from the start.

On the opening kickoff they worked a three-way maneuver, with Bud Whitehead taking the ball, handing off to Feely, who lateraled to
Carl Meyer. Richardson stopped Meyer at the FSU 13.

The Spiders cut no offensive ice at all in the first quarter. Indeed, over four minutes were gone in the second period before they managed first
down no. 1.

FSU's own attack was neutralized by some rather startling ineptness at pass-catching. Throw after throw hit receivers in the wrong place - right in their hands.

Feely caught the
crowd's fancy with his first run, a 16-yarder.

But it was the offensive unit, the War Party, that got the Tribe across midfield for the first time, not the No. 1 Chiefs.

The running of Happy
Fick, Tom Hillabrand and Trancygier spurred the Seminoles to the Richmond 38. The push started at the FSU 39, following a punt.

In came the Chiefs. At the 29 after two runs, Feely's pass was
incomplete. Ken Kestner tried a field goal. No good.

Richmond started a movement from its 27. Steve Stevenson's running plus a 10-yard pass from Mel Rideout to Stevenson, led to the Spiders' 46.
Then Rideout rolled around end to the FSU 39.

Russom Rolls

The Renegades entered. Two Richmond passes were futile. Richmond was penalized 15. Then Ken Russom intercepted Rideout's pass at
the 23, wheeled it up to the FSU 45.

FSU went to the air - in vain. Whitehead punted 51 yards and Earl Stoudt was stopped in the runback at the Spiders' seven.

Bob Swoszowski of the Renegades
gave FSU a close-up shot with a fumble recovery at the Richmond 15. The Renegades were given the scoring chance but they fell short at the eight.

Russom raced with the Richmond punt 30 yards to the
Spiders' 20 but a clipping penalty nullified it and the Tribe started from its own 43. It was two minutes until halftime.

Trancygier rifled a pass to George Tillman at the Richmond 33 - FSU's first
completion. Trancygier promptly nailed Hillabrand with another, at the 16. Then the quarterback found Hillabrand again - good to the five. Forty-two seconds left to make it.

Trancygier ran to the
three. Fick was stopped for naught. No huddle ... Trancygier took the snap, raised up, hit Grimes alone in the end zone for the TD. The clock showed 15 seconds until the half.

Kestner kicked the
point for 7-0.

Richmond Coach Ed Merrick argued briefly with the officials. He contended Trancygier had not paused a full second, as required by the rules, before taking the snap.

Grimes
Steals

Richmond got a start at its 30 after the second-half kick.

On the Spiders' second offensive play of the quarter, Grimes made a twisting interception of Dick Curl's pass at the
Richmond 36. FSU scored in nine plays.

Whitehead dashed to the 24 but the sprint was canceled due to a clip. Feely ran to the 35, then passed to Whitehead at the 26. Whitehead got five more and
Feely scooted through for a first down at the 16.

Two runs got only a yard before Feely swiveled for 12 to the three. Richmond called timeout. Feely called for Feely to run again. He crashed over
from the three.

Holding for the point after kick, Feely drew a high snap from center, grabbed the ball and raced around end for two points, making things 15-0.

Richmond mustered some ball-moving
tactics.

With Rideout's 18-yard pass to Ed wood the big lick, the Virginians whipped 36 yards to FSU's 38. Passes found no targets. Richmond punted to FSU's 11 and a penalty set the Tribe back on
the 3 1/2.

White punted to Richmond's 45. Rideout guided the Spiders to the FSU 29 with his running and throwing but a clip stymied the drive. Rideout boomed a beaut of a punt, a 40-yarder out on
the two.

Whitehead Rips

On three straight romps, Whitehead ripped off 11, 14 and 10 yards, up to the 40. Feely passed to Jim Daniel at the Richmond 43.

Feely raced to the 30, then to
the 22. Whitehead sprinted to the 15 but clipping was called. FSU couldn't recover and Whitehead punted over the goal.

Richmond got to the 33, no further. Rideout's third-down punt was a weak one,
to the Richmond 49.

Five plays brought a score.

Trancygier struck off six, then passed to Lamar Elton for eight, to the 35. After an incomplete toss, Trancygier threw a deep one - to Tillman
racing into the end zone. The shot missed but pass interference was ruled and FSU had a first down on the one.

And Trancygier sneaked over for six points. Marion Bronson kicked the point for
22-0.

Five minutes remained in the game.

It was enough for another TD.

The War Party opened up on the FSU 41 after taking a Richmond punt. A penalty, coupled with Fick's 11-yard run, put the
Tribe at the Richmond 36.

Trancygier lofted a long one that Romeo grabber on the run at the goal line and scored. A bad snap spoiled the conversion try, leaving it 28-0.

FSU might have had
another. Don Sellers intercepted a pass but fumbled and Ron Ridenhour claimed the ball for Richmond at the Spiders' 27.

From The Tallahassee Democrat, September 25, 1960, page 1, by Bill McGrotha.

GAINESVILLE, FL - Tallahassee's Billy Cash, an 18-year old sophomore, kicked the first field goal of his life here
Saturday afternoon as Florida's football team blunted Florida State's brilliant try, 3-0.

It was a game that the Seminoles might well have won, though the Gators were reckoned two touchdowns better
before the kickoff.

It was a game tarnished by the disclosure Saturday morning of an attempt to bribe Jon MacBeth, UF's No. 1 fullback, into what he could to see that Florida did not win by more
than 12 points. MacBeth told the school authorities of the attempt, which originated on Aug. 22, and the accused ones - a student from New York and a non-student friend of his from New York - were
arrested before the game.

It was a game that unfolded pretty much as expected, with Florida relying almost entirely on its hard-running corps of backs and Florida State passing often.

Cash,
whose kicking talents were rather unsuspected when he played for Leon High, booted his 3-pointer with 6:31 left in the second quarter. He did it from the 25 after a Florida assault was stopped at the
19, and the ball went through the crossbars 25 yards from the kicking point. There was a favoring wind.

"Anyway you look at it," said UF Coach Ray Graves, "It was a victory, and after it's all over
you are happy to win - period."

Statistics reflected a rather even ball game with Florida's offense netting 290 yards versus FSU's 209. Florida got 272 of its total running, a mere 18 on three pass
completions in 10 attempts.

FSU ran for 110 yards, with Ed Trancygier's 39 in six carries leading. The Seminoles hit on 11 of 26 passes for 99 yards, had two throws intercepted. There was one
fumble lost, that by Florida.

The duel of quarterbacks, FSU's Eddie Feely held his own against UF's Larry Libertore. Feely
completed eight of 14 passes, picked up 26 yards in 15 runs. Libertore hit on only two of six throws, managed 18 yards in 14 carries.

Thirty-eight thousand fans showed at Florida Field despite
advance rains. The morning precipitation in Gainesville was mostly in the form of a drizzle that continued intermittently throughout the game. The field itself was in good condition.

Florida got to
FSU's 35 in the first quarter, to the six in the second - from whence penetration a field goal was eventually kicked, to the 39 and to the 33 in the third, and in the last quarter to the 24 - where it
fumbled and lost the ball - and to the four - where it was when the game ended.

FSU penetrated to Florida's 37 and 28 in the second quarter, to the 40 and 47 in the third, to the 21 - from where
Ken Kestner's field goal try failed - and the 46 in the final period.

Pat Patchen led the Gators in tackles with six. FSU guards Gene McDowell and Ray Lamb had six apiece.

Neither team produced
any big surprises. The biggest had to be the final score, and Florida's narrow margin of triumph.

Florida State got into a hole at the start when Partin returned the opening kickoff 26 yards to the
UF 39 after the Gators won the toss and chose to receive.

But the Gators maneuvered no further than their 45. Don Ringgold punted to FSU's 20. Three runs got seven yards and Whitehead punted, with
Partin wheeling it back to the Florida 48. But UF was taxed 15 for clipping and started anew on its 33.

Libertore guided the Gators across midfield, with bursts of seven and six yards by Don
Goodman the big licks in a movement to FSU's 41. Libertore slashed to the 35 but Tony Romeo socked for minus three on the following play. That crimped the bid and Dave Bloodworth entered and punted
over the the goal.

Four more runs carried FSU to its 46 as the quarter ended.
Trancygier hit George Tillman with a 13-yard pass and the Tribe was in Florida Territory for the first time, at the 43.

An offsides assessment helped FSU to UF's 37. Gas ran out there and Whitehead
punted out on the 11. FSU's Renegades went in.

The Gators took off from there. Two runs by Partin, for 14 and six, took them to their 32. Hoover smashed for seven and MacBeth for eight. Then an
offsides - FSU's first penalty - put the Gators at the Seminoles' 47.

Gains of 10 yards and five by Goodman kept the push going. Partin fumbled at the 27 and FSU recovered but the officials ruled
the whistle had blown before the bobble.

A nine-yard quick pass over the middle, Libertore to Larry Infante, led to the 14.

Infante rambled to the 11, Libertore to the six. But as Infante hit to
the four Florida was penalized for holding, back to the 19.

After an incomplete pass, Cash came in on fourth down and, with the wind to his back, booted a field goal from 25 yards out. It was just
over the bar. Florida led 3-0, with 6:31 left in the half.

Feely got a big drive going with the Chiefs. It started on the FSU 20, after the kickoff following the 3-pointer, and extended to
Florida's 28. Feely's running and passing paved it.

At the Florida 49 with 2:41 to go, FSU gambled on fourth down, needing almost two yards. Feely made it by a foot. A Feely pass to Carl Meyer
brought a first down on the 37 but things played out on the 28 when Feely was a yard short on his fourth-down run.

Tom Batten came in to try a couple of long passes for Florida. They missed.
Libertore ran eight yards, to the 50, on the last play of the half.

The 3-0 halftime scored compared with Florida leads of 6-0 last year and 21-7 in '58.

FSU received the second-half kick,
whipped 19 yards to its 36 before having to punt.

Florida couldn't cut out a first down. Goodman quick-kicked on third down. Almost blocked, it was good for a mere 17 to the Florida 43.

But FSU
made nothing of it. After Ed Parker hit for three, Feely's quick pass was knocked down. Then Feely was nailed for a loss of 9.

With Goodman spurring the charge, Florida swept back to FSU's 46. A
bit later Dick Skelly made it to the 39.

The Tribe stopped the penetration there, and Ringgold punted over the goal.

Passes Misfire

FSU passes, from around its own 20, failed.
Whitehead's punt was a short one that was returned to the FSU 49. MacBeth and Partin whacked out a first down at the 39. And Florida moved on the the 33, where passes on third down and fourth down
misfired.

Trancygier's 10-yard throw to Hillabrand brought a first down at the 43. Trancygier then set sail to Florida's 47 as the quarter ended.

Two plays later Trancygier got loose for 11
yards, to the 35. Then Paul Andrews found a hole and raced to the 26. Happy Fick made it a first down at the 22. Two passes missed and Trancygier couldn't get away on a running try.

Kestner tried a
field goal, with the wind going for him. It was way short, and Infante ran it back to the 26.

Shortly, Ringgold punted to FSU's 35. Penalized back to the 21, FSU got out of the hole on Trancygier's
19-yard pass to Jim Daniel at the 40.

The Gators were assessed
five yards for taking too much time. Two runs and Skelly fumbled, with Parker recovering for FSU at the 26.

Three straight pass connections, Feely to Whitehead on each, took the Tribe to Florida's
49. Patchen broke up a double reverse, nailing Whitehead for a loss of two. On fourth down at the 46, Feely threw and Bobby Dodd intercepted.

FSU was penalized for roughing, and Florida had a
chance from its own 49 with three minutes left.

A screen pass, Dodd to Hoover, got nine yards and loosened the FSU defense. Cecil Ewell and Hoover sparked the Gators to the 31. Then Skelly raced to
the 20, thence to the six. Then Skelly got two to the four with seconds left. On the final play, Skelly was stopped at the four.

Stung by 39-0 and 47-6 losses to FSU in two earlier skirmishes at Tallahassee, The Citadel played the Seminoles on quite even terms as
11,200 people hollered their heads off on a terribly humid night.

But it wasn't the humidity, it was the heat of The Citadel's fired-up force that ruined the Seminoles and neutralized their 3-team
platooning.

Both teams had their scoring chances.

Crusher For FSU

The crusher for FSU came on second down at The Citadel's seven with about four minutes to play. Ed Trancygier ripped a
pass into the end zone and Jerry Nettles, The Citadel quarterback, intercepted.

Hamstrung by penalties in the first half, FSU ran into repeated frustration. The Citadel stopped a second-quarter
drive at its eight. A bit later, FSU attempted a field goal from the 33, and missed.

In the last half, FSU was stopped at The Citadel 17 and 35.

Deep Citadel March

The Citadel marched
deep the first time it had the ball, missed a field goal from 17 yards out.

Later the Bulldogs were halted at FSU's 35 and 16.

Statistics reflect the story rather accurately. The Citadel got 279
yards, including a stunning 205 on the ground. FSU's attack netted 265, with 165 rushing.

One FSU touchdown, in the second quarter, was nullified by a backfield-in-motion penalty. Ed Feely had
passed to Vernon Ehlers, and the end had converted it into what looked for a moment like a 29-yard payoff.

'Great Football Team'

FSU Coach Bill Peterson said:

"The Citadel was a great
football team tonight. We knew they would be sky-high. They deserved the tie because they played better. We gave them life when we got down in there and couldn't score.

"The crowd inspired them. It
was tough to hear the signals. We were not pleased with either our offense or defense, except for our goal-line defense.

"We were definitely flat."

For the first time, Florida State opened with
Trancygier operating at quarterback with the No. 1 unit, the Chiefs. Staying on the ground, the Seminoles maneuvered to their 41 after taking the kickoff, then had to punt.

On The Citadel's second
play from scrimmage, Tommy Edwards tore around end, got superb blocking, and skipped 29 yards to FSU's 46 as the Cadet Corps whooped it up in the stands.

Promptly, on a delayed buck, Early Eastburn
knocked off 16 more, to the 30. Then he whipped through the line again for nine and for five, cutting out a first down at the 15.

Three more runs got only four yards and on fourth down at the 11,
Bill Gilgo tried for a field goal. It was a weak boot that barely got head high.

In came Feely with the offensive unit, the War Party. Twenty plays later - including two 15-yard penalties against
the Seminoles - there was still no score as The Citadel called a halt at its eight to the time-consuming march.

Feely's bright running, passing and lateraling sparked the push. Big gainer was a
Feely run, with lateral to Happy Fick, that netted 18 to The Citadel's 37. At the 29, Feely passed to Vernon Ehlers, who got loose from a couple of tacklers and scored. But it was nullified by a
holding penalty.

A Feely pass to Fick got back 12. Three more runs, including a key 8-yarder by Paul Andrews, and FSU had a first down on the 15. The Citadel stiffened and Feely's fourth-down throw
from the eight to Ehlers in the end zone just missed.

Shortly, Trancygier had the Chiefs on the warpath. A 9-yard run by the quarterback spurred the Seminoles across midfield, then he passed to Jim
Daniel at the 37. Parker hit for 15 to the 22.

Again the Bulldogs tightened. On fourth down, Ken Kestner came in to try for a field goal, kicking from the 33. No good.

The Citadel again
threatened. Jerry Nettles' pass to Charlie Brendle for 10 led to the Bulldogs' 41. A personal-foul assessment vaulted the Bulldogs two plays later to FSU's 44. John Clancy sprinted around end to the
31. There The Citadel got its first penalty, on a personal foul. That stopped the bid and Clyde Marsh punted over the goal.

After an FSU punt, The Citadel had still another chance at the Seminoles'
43 with time running out in the half. The Bulldogs probed to the 34 as the half ended.

General Mark Clark, The Citadel's president, got on the microphone at halftime to urge the Cadet Corps to even
more vocal support.

The Seminoles had a whopping 55 yards in penalties at this stage, versus 15 for The Citadel.

From the Tallahassee Democrat, October 16, 1960, page 1, by Bill McGrotha.

MOBILE, AL - Behind 15-0 at the half, Florida State rallied much, but not enough, as Mississippi Southern pulled out a
15-13 decision here Saturday night.

The difference was a 2-points pass that Quarterback Don Fuell fired to End Charles Dedwylder after Southern's second touchdown.

Southern picked up an early
score after recovering a fumble at FSU's 22. Tommy Morrow tore 20 yards for the TD.

Fuell manipulated the Mississippians on a 76-yard scoring march in the second quarter, getting the 6-pointer
himself from 1-yard range.

Florida State, after stopping Southern at its one on the last play of the first half, dominated the last two quarters, the Seminoles had looked more than a little
inferior in the early going.

Ed Trancygier quarterbacked the Tribe on a 67-yard touchdown push, scored himself from a yard out. When he passed to Tony Romeo in a bid for two points , officials
ruled Romeo caught the ball outside the end zone.

Then Ed Feely directed an 80-yard scoring drive for the Seminoles with Paul Andrews getting the TD from a half-yard out.

In the final six
minutes, FSU recovered two Southern fumbles, one at the Tribe 44, another at the 50. But the Seminoles couldn't capitalize. Fuell's interception of a pass, with a bit over a minute to play, finished
the Seminoles.

Florida State took the game-opening kick and, with Bud Whitehead picking up 14 yards in three runs off the right side, worked up to its 42, where Southern called a halt.

Whopping Punt

On Southern's first offensive play, Arnold Spence dug around the left side for nine yards. But soon Morris Meador punted, and it was a whopper that rolled over the FSU goal -
60 yards from the scrimmage line.

John McConnaughhay hit up the middle, fumbled and Spence claimed the ball for Southern at FSU's 22. It was the first time this season and FSU back lost the ball on
a fumble.

Meador struck for two yards. Then Tommy Morrow pounded up the middle, squirmed away from the tacklers and went the distance. Billy Larson kicked the point for 7-0.

Eddie Feely directed
the War Party across midfield, hitting on a pair of passes to Tom Hillabrand. An offsides penalty slowed them and Feely punted out on the 24.

Another Score

With Fuell quarterbacking most
of the route, Southern went 76 yards for a score. Backed to the 17 by a penalty, Southern got out of it when Fuell shot a daring pass to John Sklopan, who turned it into a 35-yard gain to FSU's 48.

Sklopan's running cut out a first down at the 33. Fuell's scampers on the keep led to the seven in six plays. On third down, Fuell sneaked over from the one.

Lining up to try for two points,
Southern was penalized five for offsides. Disdainfully, Southern still went for two. Fuell hit Charley Dedwyler in the end zone with a pass and the Mississippians led, 15-0, with the second quarter
still young.

Gets Chance

Florida State had a chance when Ken Cone intercepted a Fuell pass at the Seminoles' 47. Feely whipped a pass to Hillabrand at Southern's 44. But Happy Fick
fumbled and Mike Hander recovered for Southern at the 36.

With Fuell passing like a pro Southern paraded to FSU's 35. The Seminoles braced, took over there.

Again FSU pushed across midfield, on
Fick's running and a Feely short pass to Hillabrand. Feely's long throw to Jim Daniel trickled out of the end's hands at the 18. Whitehead's punt rolled over the goal.

The ball was brought out to
the 20. Promptly, on a quick-opener, Sklopan tore off right guard, swerved and dashed 76 yards to FSU's four.

A diving tackle by Fred Grimes resulted in an ankle grab and Sklopan couldn't keep his
balance after getting loose. One minute, 10 seconds remained in the half.

Good Stand

FSU waged a magnificent stand.

Morrow was stopped at the two, Dan Pugh at the one. Meador tried to
run wide, got thrown for a yard loss by Cone and Tony Romeo. On fourth down, Pugh pounded at right tackle, where he met Whitehead at the one. A second later the whistle heralded intermission.

With
two quarters to go, Southern's offense had outdistanced the Seminoles, 258 yards to 94. The Hattiesburg boys had gained 187 on the ground.

Thrust Repulsed

The Tribe repulsed Southern's
initial last-half thrust. Then Ed Trancygier took the Seminoles on a 67-yard touchdown jaunt.

Trancygier's 19-yard pass to Grimes at Southern's 45 was a big lick. Four runs vaulted FSU to the 29.
Trancygier whipped a pass to Ed Parker at the four. Three whacks at the line and the ball was on the one.

As Parker faked brightly up the middle, Trancygier bootlegged untouched around left end for
the touchdown.

Going for two, Trancygier shot a pass to Romeo but officials ruled he caught it over the end-zone boundary. It stayed 15-6.

Pass completions by Fuell of 16 and 12 yards took
Southern quickly to FSU's 39. Three runs there netted but three yards and Southern punted, the ball rolling into the end zone.

Feely Guides

Feely guided a masterful 80-yard payoff march.
The Tribe forged to its 43, got set back to the 29 by penalty. But Feely socked Whitehead with a short pass, and he converted into a 33-yard gain to Southern's 38.

With Whitehead and Andrews
running well, FSU dug to the 29. Andrews zipped off 12 yards to the eight. Feely got three, Hillabrand three more and Whitehead one. Fourth down and Whitehead was stopped short.

But Southern was
ruled offsides on the play, provided another shot. Andrews made good with a plunge. Ken Kestner kicked a point for 15-13 with 8:56 left in the quarter.

Southern got going, and things looked dark
for the Tallahassee - when they drew a 15-yard penalty that put the Mississippians at State's 31.

First Loss

Grimes dashed in to deck Fuell for his first rushing loss of the year, back on
the 37. Fuell went back to pass. Romeo came around behind him, knocked the ball out of his hand. Steve Klesius recovered for the Tribe at FSU's 44. Five and a half minutes remained.

Fourth-and-five
at the 50 and Trancygier gambled. It was in, then out of Grimes' hands.

But Trancygier was socked for a seven-yard loss. Feely came in, tried to throw, got nailed back on the 35. On fourth down, needing 25, Feely shot a short pass to Whitehead, who couldn't
get loose. Southern took over at the 39.

FSU took over at its 31 with 1:25 left.

Fuell intercepted Feely's pass at the Southern 41, ran it to FSU's 47. The Tribe was penalized 15 for
roughness.

From the Tallahassee Democrat, October 23, 1960, page 1, by Bill McGrotha.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State struck for two touchdowns in the first 11 minutes, tacked on another after the final gun
had sounded and knocked off William & Mary, 22-0, here Saturday night.

Happy Fick, sophomore left-half from Miami, managed the last two 6-pointers, dashing seven yards with a pitchout for one and
taking an 18-yard pass from Ed Trancygier for the other.

Trancygier's pitch, in the air after the gun went off, came on the heels of a timeout with one second left on the clock, brought about by an
injury to a W&M player.

Weak Kicks

A pair of poor W&M punts paved FSU's first two scores. One kick travelled 30 yards, the other 19. The Seminoles went 47 yards in six plays for their
first TD, with Bud Whitehead scoring from the three. FSU moved 42 yards in eight formations for the second.

From that early point until Trancygier's late swish, the two teams played seesaw.

W&M,
on its way to a fourth defeat in six starts, seemed content to settle for a 14-0 setback. The Williamsburg people threw only seven passes all evening - just one in the last half. They completed
none.

A Crack From The 22

Florida State had a crack from the W&M 22 in the third quarter but lost the ball on a fumble at the 11. Late in the final period, FSU drove 67 yards to within
inches of the goal. A penalty for assisting the ball-carrier with a push erased an apparent TD by Eddie Feely.

W&M drove to FSU's seven just before the half, yielded the ball on downs. It was the
only serious threat by the visitors.

FSU rolled up 194 yards rushing with Tom Hillabrand - promoted to the first unit just this week - picking up 73 in 10 carries.

It was FSU's third shutout of
a Southern Conference opponent this season, and the Seminoles' third victory against two losses and a tie. The road is tough from now on, with Kentucky, Miami, Auburn and Houston ahead.

A crowd of
13,400 watched on a fair, and coolish night.

Quick One

Florida State scored the first time it got the ball, whipping 47 yards in six plays.

W&M had received the opening kick. An
offsides penalty helped bog the visitors thrusts, and on a punting try the Indians got taxed 15 more yards for illegal use of hands. Kicking from the 17, Jim Porach booted a 30-yarder, to the 47.

Tom Hillabrand, getting some key blocking on a sweep, sailed 26 yards. Whitehead crashed to the 15, and Paul Andrews made it a first down at the eight. On third down from the three, Whitehead cruised
off right tackle for the TD. Ken Kestner kicked the point for 7-0.

Soon FSU had another shot, following a puny punt - a 19-yarder by Barton to W&M's 42. In eight plays, the War Party scored.

Chopping runs did it, with Ed Trancygier getting 20 yards in three carries. At the 16, Happy Fick took over, digging to the seven, than taking a pitchout and smashing through the left side for the
payoff. Kestner's point brought it to 14-0 with the first quarter about half gone.

The Chiefs couldn't cut it on FSU's next two turns with the ball. A 29-yard pass, Ed Feely to Tony Romeo at the
W&M 25, was rubbed out by an illegal-procedure penalty. Right after, Feely trying to throw again, was racked for minus 21, back to the FSU 20.

Whitehead boomed a 46-yard punt.

W&M
Moves

W&M opened a movement from its 39 and almost went the distance. With Bob Stoy quarterbacking a running game, the Indians raced to FSU's seven. Stan Penkunas' 12-yard dash to FSU's 47 and
Stoy's 14-yard keep to the 27 were the key gainers.

On fourth-and-one at the seven, Joe Verbinski racked Stoy, trying to sneak, for no gain. FSU took over. A gambling pass by Trancygier, to Ed
Parker on the 25, was cancelled by another illegal-procedure penalty.

Whitehead punted up to FSU's 42.

Calvin Cox's fourth-down pass was intercepted by Willie Whitehead at the 33.

Trancygier
threw a long one, and Jim Leifew stole it for W&M, wheeling the ball up to the visitors' 45. Two desperate tosses fell incomplete as time ran out in the first half.

Neither team had completed a
pass going into the final two quarters. W&M had tried six, FSU two - officially.

FSU attempted a dazzling kickoff return, Whitehead taking it on the nine, dishing to Feely, who handed off to
Hillabrand, who was stopped at the Seminoles' 25 by a fellow that might have been W&M's last man in position to halt him.

Three plays later Hillabrand ripped off 15 yards to W&M's 45 but fumbled
and Joe Poist - one of 19 Pennsylvanians on the Indians' roster - claimed the ball.

Fumble Recovered

W&M couldn't manage a first down.

Midway the third quarter, FSU forged a break when
Cox, hit hard on a sweep, fumbled and Roy Bickford recovered for the Seminoles at W&M's 22.

Three plays and Parker fumbled, with Wilbur Johnson hopping on the ball for W&M at the 11.

Then FSU started a ramble from its 33. Hillabrand ran five yards, then caught a pass from Feely for five more. Feely passed to Romeo at the W&M 44. The
Indians were penalized to their 27 after a personal foul. Hillabrand dug for five and Whitehead scooted with a pitchout to the 14.

Four runs brought a first down at the four. On fourth down, inches
from the goal, Feely was apparently over but an official threw a flag, ruled Feely had been illegally assisted over by teammates' pushes. Back at the five, Feely's end-zone pass went incomplete.

About three minutes remained.

W&M punted up to its 40. Trancygier hit Jim Daniel with a pass at the 22. Trying to pitch again, the quarterback was nailed on the 33. Then Trancygier ran to the 18.
Time was called for an injured W&M player.

The gun went off as Trancygier passed to Fick who crashed over the goal. Then Trancygier passed to George Tillman for two points.

Biggest crowd ever to see a Homecoming game at Florida State - a near capacity 19,200 - watched Kentucky forge threat after threat on a warm, sunny and
otherwise pleasant afternoon.

Big Yardage

The Wildcats, while accumulating a whopping 441 yards on the attack, couldn't breathe with complete freedom until the last quarter, when they
struck for their final nine points.

Kentucky got its first TD in the opening period, with Cal Bird's gash from the three climaxing a 76-yard drive. Another 6-pointer came in the second quarter on
Jerry Eisaman's 37-yard pass to Tom Hutchinson.

Clark Mayfield kicked a field goal from the 22 early in the final frame, and Hutchinson iced things with a couple minutes remaining by wheeling seven
short yards with an intercepted screen pass.

Florida State checked Kentucky pushes that extended to the 14, to the four, to the 26, to the nine.

The Seminoles had three pretty fair chances.
Fumbles halted strikes at Kentucky's 22 and 35. An intercepted pass killed a late movement to the Wildcats' 22.

FSU was never inside the visitors' 20.

In running up 258 yards rushing, Kentucky
had seven backs that netted 23 or more yards, with 200-pound fullback Gary Cochran the leader on 56 yards after 13 carries.

Florida State managed only 78 yards on the ground and turned early to passes, completing a mere nine of 25 against the
nation's fourth-ranking team on pass defense, for a yardage total of 109. The Wildcats intercepted four tosses.

The Seminoles, who figured to have to collect some breaks to win, couldn't get enough
favorable bounces, though 98 yards in penalties were walked off on Kentucky. FSU recovered two enemy fumbles, lost two itself.

Two FSU front-line players, tackle Don Donatelli and halfback Happy
Fick, were injured in the first half and retired for the day. Donatelli went to the infirmary with a slight concussion. Fick twisted an ankle. Both should be okay soon.

It was Kentucky's third
victory in seven starts, its 17th straight non-SEC triumph. For FSU, it was setback No. 3 after three victories and a tie.

For the first time this season, FSY was scored on in the last half.

Kicking Choice

At the start, Kentucky won the toss and elected to kick to the Seminoles, with the Wildcats taking a slight wind advantage.

Bud Whitehead wheeled the kick back 27 yards to
the 31. Three plays, including two incomplete passes, gained not a yard, and Whitehead's 38-yard punt was returned to the Kentucky 43.

On Kentucky's second scrimmage play, Eisaman wheeled to his
right on the pass-run option, cut back inside suddenly, picked up a big block from end Dave Gash, and cruised 34 yards to FSY's 19. Ken Cone brought him down.

Two runs got five yards. Eisaman's
deep pass was broken up.

Mayfield attempted a field goal, kicking from the 22. It was wide.

The Seminoles, in seven chopping plays - the big one Feely's 7-yard pass to Tony Romeo - maneuvered to
their 44. Things stalled their and Whitehead punted.

Early Break

Eisaman called for a fair catch, fumbled the ball and Jack Hardy recovered for FSU at Kentucky's 34.

With Feely
scooping up seven yards in one carry, FSU cut out a first down on the 23. Two plays later Whitehead had the ball punched from his arms by a tackler and Eisaman recovered the fumble in the air, was
hauled down at the 24.

Kentucky scored in 14 plays, striking off all of the 76 yards against the Renegades.

Cochran got 13 yards in two runs to help start things. Big play came at the Kentucky
40 when, on third-and-seven, Woolum whipped an 11-yard pass to Tommy Simpson.

Three runs by Bird for 12 yards led a ground push to the 22. Three plays later, Charles Sturgeon dashed 18 yards, on a
halfback draw play, to the three. Promptly, Bird went wide on a pitchout and scored as one pursuing defender tripped and another Seminole fell over him.

Mayfield's point kick made it 7-0 with 2:20
left in the quarter.

The War Party couldn't move, and Whitehead punted to Kentucky's 32.

Drive Short

A 24-yard pass, Woolum to Dave Gash, brought the Wildcats to FSU's 43. A bit later
Woolum's 13-yard pitch to Tom Hutchinson carried to the 32. Three runs, with Jim Poynter contributing a 10-yarder, yielded a first down on the 13. Fred Grimes hit Bird for a yard loss but on third
down Woolum passed to Hutchinson at the four. Grimes led a rush that brought Poynter down for a 2-yard loss, and FSU took over.

On third down, Whitehead punted 39 yards to FSU's 45.

Bird sliced
to the 36 and Cochran got four more. After an offsides penalty, Eisaman hit Hutchinson with a pass at the five and the end sprinted into the end zone.

Mayfield added the point and it was 14-0,
Kentucky, seven minutes before halftime.

A clipping penalty blunted Kentucky's next bid at FSU's 45.

Ed Trancygier's 20-yard pass to Jim Daniel at the FSU raised hopes two minutes before
intermission. But with a minute left, Bill Ransdell intercepted Trancygier's deep throw and raced back 36 yards to FSU's 47. Eisaman passed to Bird for a 21-yard gain to the 24 on the last play of the
period.

Broad Edge

Halftime statistics reflected a disturbing picture for the partisan assembly. Kentucky led in first downs, 13 to three, in yards rushing, 177 to 36, in yards passing,
110 to 30.

Whitehead came close to breaking away on the second-half kickoff, sprinting from the goal line to FSU's 41 before Eisaman got him.

Feely shot a 9-yard pass to Whitehead, and Kentucky
drew a 15-yard foul penalty, moving the ball to the Wildcats' 35. But Whitehead then ran into a mass of tacklers, fumbled and Bob Butler claimed the ball for Kentucky at the 40.

Woolum's 21-yard
pass to Hutchinson had Kentucky knocking quickly at FSU's 35. But on fourth-and-two Ransdell was stopped a yard short a the 26.

A foul penalty boosted FSU to its 41 and Feely's throw to Whitehead
put the Seminoles at midfield. Responding, perhaps, to the vocal urging of the crowd, Feely gambled on fourth down, needing one. His sneak was short.

Woolum's pass to Simpson got 15 but it was
cancelled by a holding penalty, and Kentucky was set back on its 35. Kentucky couldn't recover, punted.

Gets 3-Pointer

***** MISSING SECTION *****

at the 14, Kentucky got nothing in
three plays. Mayfield entered and kicked a 3-pointer from an angle on the 22.

FSU got things going. Feely's 19-yard pass to Grimes presented an opportunity at Kentucky's 47. Then Feely swiveled for
12 to the 35. On the draw, Paul Andrews found room for 12 more to the 23.

But Lloyd Hodge intercepted Feely's fourth-down pass.

In a dozen plays, helped along by a 14-yard pass interference
penalty, Kentucky pushed to FSU's seven, where Dave Chapman fumbled and Ken Russom grabbed the ball for the Seminoles. Four minutes remained.

Two Trancygier runs brought a first down on the 21.

The Trancygier's screen pass was stolen by Hutchinson, who batted the ball in the air before latching on. He moved seven easy yards for a touchdown. Eisaman's passing try for two points failed and
things stayed 23-0.

Kentucky was fiddling around the 50, following Tom Hundley's interception of a Trancygier pass, when time ran out.

From the Tallahassee Democrat, November 13, 1960, page 1, by Bill McGrotha.

Recovering from a bad case of first-half fumblitis, University of Houston tripped up Florida State, 7-6 here Saturday
afternoon.

The Cougars, who fumbled away the ball five times in the second quarter, went 52 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown that came on Don Session's 12-yard pass to Ken Bolin.

Florida
State scored with less than three minutes remaining as Ed Trancygier directed a payoff march of 87 yards. The TD came on Trancygier's 20-yard pitch to end George Tillman.

Little High

The
Seminoles elected to go for two points and the lead. Trancygier's shot to Carl Meyer in the end zone was a trifle too high.

Going into this last home game for the Seminoles, Trancygier had been
billed for a role at lefthalf. He had moved in at the spot in Monday practice. But he saw only light duty at lefthalf.

The victory was Houston's fifth in the last six games, and its sixth of the
year against three setbacks. FSU, which closes next week at Auburn, lost its fifth. The Seminoles have won three, tied one.

It was pretty much of an even game statistically, with FSU outgaining the
Texans, 213 yards to 210. Houston had a 172-to-98 edge in rushing. FSU a 115-38 spread in passing.

Though Houston starters outweighed FSU 20 pounds per man, it was a pair of backs in the
neighborhood of 160 that did most damage to FSU. Billy Richardson, 162-pound lefthalf, accounted for 33 of the 52 yards on Houston's TD drive - most of it on a 22-yard pass grab. And lefthalf Bolin,
162, caught the touchdown pass, led both teams in ground gaining with 50 yards to show in 10 efforts.

Flags Hurt

If fumbles were the bugaboo of Houston, penalties jinxed the Seminoles.
The Tribe was penalized 57 yards, Houston no yards.

Both teams had their scoring chances.

FSU drove to Houston's 19 in the first quarter, to the 13 in the second - after recovering a fumble at
the 23, and to the 28 in the third.

The Cougars moved to FSU's 25 in the second period, to the 39 in the third, to the 32 and 28 in the fourth.

A chilled crowd of 10,400 watched the seesaw
maneuvering on an overcoat afternoon.

Houston won the toss, took the opening kickoff. Tony Romeo's slapping down of David Bradshaw for a 5-yard loss blunted the Cougar's initial effort.

Larry
Lindsey's punt was a 44-yarder. A penalty erased a Seminole pass gain, and Whitehead's 39-yard punt was wheeled 13 yards, to the FSU 48, by Bradshaw.

Three plays later, Bud Whitehead came up with
his first pass interception of the season. The Marianna senior was a national leader in aerial thefts last year.

Early Theft

Fred Grimes had personally stopped two Houston runs before
Sessions skipped back for his first throw. It was deflected by the intended receiver, and Whitehead plucked it at the 30, returned to FSU's 41.

Whitehead dashed for six. Eddie Feely picked up two,
then threw to Tom Hillabrand for a first down at Houston's 39. Whitehead got nine and Hillabrand a couple, to the 28. Feely struck off four and Whitehead moved to the 19.

Paul Andrews crashed to
the 16 but the run was nullified and FSU set back to the 34 on a holding penalty. Then Bobby Hodges decked Feely for a loss of 11. Whitehead punted.

Houston marched from its 10 to FSU's 25.
Chopping runs led the movement, with Lindsey's 13-yard pass to Gene Ritch the lone pass.

But at the 25, Bruce Darsey ripped through to hit Charles Rieves, forcing a fumble that Romeo pounced on at
the 30.

Shortly, Whitehead kicked again. Bradshaw fumbled the ball - and again Romeo claimed one for the Seminoles.

Thus FSU had a shot from the Houston 23 with the second quarter still
young.

But on fourth down at the 14, Andrews' plunge was about four inches short of a first down. Houston took over.

Lindsey's 31-yard sprint led to midfield.

But Ritch fumbled. Grimes
grabbed it out of the air and turned goalward. Lindsey, on the ground, reached and caught him by the heel, bringing Grimes down at FSU's 49. Otherwise, Grimes would have been long gone.

Quick
Change

Two plays later center John Semian intercepted an Ed Trancygier pitch, sailed to FSU's 31, where he fumbled when hit. Ken Kestner recovered for the Tribe.

Shortly, Whitehead punted.
The bouncing ball hit Semian on the leg. Another fumble, it was. Larry Hood got the ball for FSU at the Houston 47.

Houston held for downs at its 42, however. The Cougars were desperately trying
with passes as the half ended.

In a series of 23 second-half plays, including two FSU punts, Houston had lost the ball five times on fumbles. The Cougars, at this stage, led in first downs, 7 to 4;
in total yardage, 74 to 50.

FSU got going after receiving the second-half kick, on a 44-yard drive that finally played out at Houston's 33.

Two Feely passes, to Andrews for nine and to
Hillabrand for 17, spurred the push. Needing three on a third down at the 28, FSU got penalized for illegal procedure. A pass failed, and Whitehead's punt rolled into the end zone.

With Bolin and
Rieves leading the charge, Houston ripped off 41 yards to FSU's 39. On third down, Grimes led tacklers in nailing Sessions for a 9-yard loss. A punt sailed into the end zone.

In A Hole

Backed to its 11 by a penalty, FSU couldn't get out of a hole. Whitehead punted to Houston's 48.

A 22-yard pass, Sessions to Richardson, quickly put Houston on FSU's 27. Three runs cut out a first
down on the 14 as the Chiefs came back in to relieve the hard-pressed Renegades.

On the second play of the last quarter, Houston scored, Sessions passing 12 yards to Bolin. Eddie Mitchamore kicked
the point for 7-0.

Whitehead almost slipped loose on the kick runback, but ran into teammate Jim Wade after a 30-yard runback to FSU's 38. Houston held and Bolin returned Whitehead's punt 22 yards
to the Cougars' 37.

With Sessions getting away on a 19-yard sprint, Houston drove to FSU's 32. Passes failed there and Lindsey punted out on the 13.

Trancygier put quick life into FSU's attack.
He hit Tillman with 16 and 15-yard passes that led to midfield. Then he whipped one to Jim Daniel for 11 more. Three runs brought a first down on the 29. Then Meyer caught a 19-yard throw at the 10.
Happy Fick ripped to the five. FSU got penalized back to the 20 for holding.

Trancygier fired one into the end zone. Tillman turned, made a "breadbasket" catch for the TD.

Last Seconds

Ignoring the toe of Kestner, who had kicked 8-out-of-8 extra point attempts, FSU went for two. Trancygier's throw to Meyer in the end zone was a bit too high.

The clock showed 2:39 left.

FSU
tried an onside kick but Houston's Bill Brown covered the ball at the 50. Runs of 12, five and two yards by Sessions carried Houston to the 28.

FSU took over with a few seconds left, had time for
one futile pass before the whistle blew.
